⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨steal
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩loath

NY Times average 3.2 and Wordlebot in 2.

So, LOATH was your second word with TAL?

which generated a list of 14 possible answers (laity wasn't on the list!) and the only word on the list that hadn't already been an answer was loath. I didn't have a regular second word with TAL.

⬜🟨🟩⬜🟨 SLANT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOATH

I think those in the 2 Club today had similar starter words. For me, the reasonable options were TRAIL, TRAWL, and LOATH. Trail and trawl have been used before, and I am loath to try a past answer until I've used any other possibility I can come up with.
